Rihanna [1] revived her luxe maternity style [2] at the 2023 Oscars on 12 March. After announcing her second pregnancy [3] during her halftime show at the Super Bowl in February, the "Lift Me Up" singer walked the Academy Awards red carpet [4] in a custom dress with butt-baring hip cutouts by Alaïa. Her stylist, Jahleel Weaver [5], completed the sheer outfit with satin Giuseppe Zanotti heeled sandals, emerald-and-gold drop earrings by Moussaieff Jewellers, and massive statement rings on each hand.
The proud mum, who famously did not bring her 9-month-old as her date [6], showcased the sultry dress from all angles as she caressed her baby bump, swaddled in sheer fabric. The gown featured a see-through bodice with a mock-neck collar, long sleeves, and a black leather bralette. A thin strap of leather curved around her back, connecting the top to a floor-length skirt with bum-baring hip cutouts on either side of her waist.
The award show was Rihanna [7]'s first public appearance since her viral halftime show, during which she rocked the football field in a Loewe utility jumpsuit. She has since appeared on the cover of Vogue and spoken about what it was like to bring her son home [8] for the first time, as well as how she's cultivating her postpartum style [9].
